Resplan
Till att börja med besöker du de slingrande avslutningarna av Edinburghs gamla stadsdel. Lär dig innebörden av gardyloo och hoppas att du aldrig hör det, grimasera på berättelserna om skotska häxor och ta reda på vilken skatt som kan hittas begravd i en 1800-talskyrkogård (ledtråd: det är inte guld och blankt). Du får till och med höra vad skolbarn, som du, en gång packade i sina skolväskor på en händelserik dag.
Du får höra allt om de läskiga karaktärer som lurar i det förflutna och den fruktansvärda verkliga historien om hur människor levde i 1800-talets Edinburgh. Lyssna på det avlägsna smattret från en hästdragen vagn när du utforskar en stad byggd på häxprocesser, kroppsstöld och ett fruktansvärt förflutet av tortyr. Din mästare Storyteller tar dig till de platser där historien lever.
Du avslutar din utflykt under gatorna i våra exklusiva Blair Street Underground Vaults, som en gång besöktes av några av Edinburghs mindre tilltalande karaktärer. Kanske kommer du även fånga deras viskningar när du utforskar...

Veni was our guide and she was so warm and engaging for the kids, and very skilled at reading the room to see how scary she should make the tour. It was informative and genuinely interesting. The only problem was spotting the guide amongst the crowds on the Royal Mile, as the meeting point wasn't 100% clear, but I understand that the guide having to hold up a flag or anything would be cumbersome for the rest of the tour. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and will definitely go on more when my daughter's a little older. Thanks again for a great morning!
Our ghost tour was led by Veni and it was a fun and engaging way to learn the history of the vaults. Perfect amount of spooky for our 5 and 8 year old!
The tour was amazing both historically and ghostly 😊 thus making it enjoyable by adults as well as kids. The guide Veni did manage to excite our minds without making the littlest too scared.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted the whole family enjoyed the experience, from the history to the ghostly tales, and that it struck the right balance for younger visitors. We hope to welcome you all back to the Blair Street Underground Vaults. Mercat Tours
Veni was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The vaults are a must see!
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you and your family enjoyed the Kids Multi-Sensory Underground Vaults Tour with Veni. It's wonderful to hear that she helped make the experience so enjoyable and that you discovered the fascinating atmosphere of the vaults. Mercat Team
Wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to book this tour as part of my son's 10th birthday celebration. Glad I did! Linda, our tour guide, was the perfect host. Full of humor and wisdom she was the perfect person to navigate the crew of 15 tourists through an underground vault filled with history and grisly sad tales of those past on. Loved her energy and interaction with all the kids. Upon check in she asked each kids’ name and remembered everyone's name throughout the tour. Just over an hour, the tour, which meets close by the castle starts off above ground introducing landmarks continues underground, accessed by some winding steeps and wraps up in the gift shop. Well worth the hour!
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you chose to celebrate your son's birthday with us and that your group enjoyed exploring the Blair Street Underground Vaults with Linda. It's wonderful to hear that her storytelling, humour and interaction with the children helped make the experience so memorable. We appreciate you sharing your kind words with us. Mercat Team
We had a couple of days in Edinburgh and booked this tour because our elder son wanted to see a ghost! I was pleased to find something like this aimed specifically at children, though I was worried that both boys, being under 10, might find it a bit scary. Thankfully, our guide Nicola was brilliant at pitching the gory details just right. She had us on board from the start by getting us to participate in the tour, and was attentive in reminding us about the hazards of bollards and traffic on the Royal Mile as we walked along from location to location. Going down into the vaults was a definite highlight for my children - they loved how spooky it was. I was always looking over my shoulder thanks to Nicola's tales of ghostly happenings. The use of headsets was great - we were able to hear Nicola over the bustle of the tourist crowds on the street. And I'd definitely recommend taking the headphones off when you're underground - it really added to the atmosphere. We didn't see a ghost but we all thought it was a great experience. The elder son wanted to go back into the vaults immediately. Thank you very much, Nicola, for a fantastic time!

Our guide, Marina was a great storyteller- she made it pretty awful for both the big and small kids. I had 5 children between the ages of 6 and 15.
Vi er glade for, at I nød at udforske Blair Street Underjordiske Kældre og Edinburghs historie med vores Historiefortæller, Marina. Det er vidunderligt at høre, at oplevelsen fungerede godt for jeres gruppe i alle aldre. De bedste hilsner, Mercat Team

A fabulously spooky tour with Nicola who was a great story teller. She made each story come to life and gave my Mum a few frights! We heard some gruesome tales and experienced the underground vaults. We had a really wonderful experience and can recommend it for families with children who enjoy gorey stories.
